Miyaichi says playing against Nagoya Grampus on July 22 will be a real highlight.

âIt is my city, so it is exciting to return,â Ryo told Arsenal Player. âAs an Arsenal player Iâm coming home, so it is a great moment for me. Iâm very proud.

âAt the end of the season I was there for a month. It is not too big, it is maybe the fourth or fifth biggest city in Japan, and itâs quiet and has a lot of traditional things there. Thereâs good food and itâs a great city.

âObviously a lot of people have been texting and calling me, saying, âI want ticketsâ! It is quite a good moment for me and I want to show my quality for everyone in Japan.â
